Whisper is an input method editor (IME) that leverages voice recognition technology based on the Whisper engine. It offers a seamless user experience, functioning both as a standalone application and an integrated IME that can be activated, e.g. via the microphone button in HeliBoard. As a standalone app Whisper can also translate any supported language to English.
Besides providing an IME, whisper can also be selected as system-wide voice input (RecognitionService) and it supports calls via intent (RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH).
Upon launching Whisper for the first time, the app will download the necessary Whisper models (~370 MB) from Hugging Face. Please note that this is the only instance where internet permission is required. Once the models are downloaded, voice recognition works entirely offline, ensuring your privacy and convenience.
Please note that for use as voice input (not as IME) there is a separate settings activity which can be accessed from Android settings (System > Languages > Speech > Voice Input). There you can activate the app as voice input and then click the settings button. In settings you can then select the model for voice input and the maximum recording time (default: 30s).
Whisper offers two models to choose from: a compact English-only model that prioritizes speed and a more comprehensive multi-lingual model that, while much slower, supports a broader range of languages. Select your preferred model within the app, and it will be applied consistently across all uses, including when used as an IME.
To get the most out of Whisper, follow these simple tips:
- Press and hold the button while speaking
- Pause briefly before starting to speak
- Speak clearly, loudly, and at a moderate pace
- Please note that there is a limit of 30s for each recording
By following these guidelines, you'll be able to enjoy accurate and efficient voice recognition with Whisper.
